In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

R.I.P.

I saw him wrestle a few times back in the 80's, and of course always caught him on TV either wrestling or commentating.

They Live is a classic, and he was also great in Hell Comes to Frogtown.

I guess because of this from the article:

Quote:
Piper had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2006, but last November he said he was cancer free. A family source tells us he was "cancer free" at the time of his death.


So he was likely cancer free for a year or less, but it sounds like it probably had nothing to do with his death.
